Luca Sinclair’s POV“Do you know what’s the difference between me and the calendar?” I heard her voice before actually feeling the warmth of her presence in the kitchen. Without saying anything, I look up to meet her eyes, and that’s when she grins showing a full set of white teeth. “Did you hear what I said?” She is still grinning, “What’s the difference between me and the calendar?”As usual, I barely give her a reaction besides staring at her face with the least expression I can muster, to show how nonchalant I am at whatever she’s doing. That I no longer care about her. Ever since that New Year party, I’ve told myself that from that night on, I will no longer disrespect myself. I need to stop rewriting the same story -this constant heartbreak due to my high expectation of our relationship- by changing my routine. It’s not much because we still live together -eat, sleep, go to work- but I have now learned to allocate some time (quality time) with myself. I don’t wait for her to

I know I deserve it but can’t he postpone this whole thing of giving me the cold-shoulder until AFTER I give birth? I spent the first week figuring out what the hell happened- why is he not reacting to whatever I say or do? I tried to be okay with it but come the following week, I accidentally burst out. Oh yes, the volcano indeed erupted with hot lava flowing out to the point of no return- I screamed at his face about how hard it is to carry her everywhere while working full-time and being a mom to two growing boys, and now he seems to want to be added into the pile. But on the third week onwards, I got tired. Mentally tired of living with someone who obviously doesn’t want to live with me, especially when he started going out to God-knows-where, being missing for like half the day, which normally happened on a weekend so that means I was left all alone at home while he’s enjoying himself with his carefree, absolutely in-tact body with no extra weight we call pregnancy. It’s been

[ Good morning Mr Sinclair, this is the hotel manager. Will you be dining at our lounge this evening? ]He hasn't been home for two days, this text message suits him perfectly for treating my apartment as if it's a hotel because that's what he has been doing since the last week. I don't know if it's work related or he's simply fed up with me, heck I don't even know if he's staying at his place while he was missing or went for a business trip. That man has said nothing and I hate that I have to ask every single thing so I choose to keep quiet and let him be. But today is his birthday. I plan to celebrate it with the kids too so to avoid them from being disappointed if he won't be home again today, because you know how excited kids are when it comes to cakes and birthdays, thus that one text message I just sent a few seconds ago. Not wanting to put high hopes for my message to get a reply, since that's what he's been doing lately whenever I text him either to ask what time is he pi

I couldn't sleep last night. I haven't been sleeping much these days anyway so last night was expected. The difference of why I felt last night was worse compared to the others is because it wasn't caused by the uncomfortable sleep positions due to the width increment of my middle part, nor the frequent heart burn, or her active period at odd hours, instead it's due to the absence of the man that has been missing for five nights now. After I left his penthouse yesterday morning, I immediately got dressed and went out. At that moment, all I wanted was to get fresh air, thinking that's what I needed to improve my mood and heal my broken heart. I ate a lot, I walked a lot, I spent the day all by myself feeling much better that I finally had the courage to go home, only to break down right in front of my apartment thinking he won't be there and that he still very much hates me. Spending the night crying, wondering what is going on in my life that everything seems to be out of order,

I had the best sleep in months last night, and to wake up without an alarm on a Monday feels like privilege- I texted my boss yesterday about not feeling well which then I applied a leave for today. Waking up at eleven in the morning, I check my phone after calling for room service. The last meal I had was the early dinner before I went to bed, and now I'm famished! As expected, there is a million missed calls and a few unread text messages from my roommate. I purposely put my phone on silent because he'd gone mad if I block him, at least he can vent out if I let the calls and texts pass through. [ You are in so much trouble, Sophie. ] That was the last one he sent last night, and today there are only missed calls that judging from the timing, it seems like he didn't sleep at all. Just in time, my phone blinks signalling an incoming call from the man himself. I notice from the call log his last attempt was an hour ago, perhaps he's just finished with a meeting or something that h

"I'm going to give you one week medical leave for you to induce yourself before I give you the real one next week so," Allie was typing something with the keyboard when she suddenly stops and turns to me with a mischievous grin, wiggling her eyebrows, “You know what to do, right?" I roll my eyes as a reply, fully understanding the hidden meaning of her enquiry. "Good," she nods in satisfaction, about to dismiss the topic when Luca curiously asks, "Am I missing something here?" I silently smack my forehead, taking a depth breath to brace the impact. While on the opposite side of this mahogany table, my gynae is already laughing her ass off, "Oh my God, you are so cute."He briefly turns to me before looking at her again, still confused. "Alright,” Allie begins once she gets rid of her laughter, “Allow me to explain about this since this is your first baby.”Luca urges eagerly, “Please.”“So when I checked her cervix just now, it hasn't soften and she is not even 1cm dilated, for th

"Soph…”I was still deducing the steps on what to do once she is here in this world when I heard my name being summoned by the person lying behind me. If it isn’t for the missing of that annoyingly loud snore he always let out every time he dozes off, I would’ve thought he is somewhat talking in his sleep because one, he no longer calls me by that- it's always Sophie- and two, I thought he is deep asleep now considering he closed his eyes even before I switched off the light -and that was at least forty minutes ago- so what gives? “Are you sleeping?” His whispery voice along with that innocent question makes me smile in the dark, finding this adorable because he was such a snob an hour ago but look who comes crawling back? Huh. “Soph..?” He tries again, and I’m sure he knows I’m not sleeping yet eventhough I was halfway there before he called me the first time. "Hmmm," I hum as a response. I have been sleeping on my side nowadays especially on my right because she is being too hea

"I can help you again if you want.”My breath hitches with both eyes widening, stretching so big as my jaw drops to the floor upon hearing his nonchalant offer. It sounds so casual as if he’s asking about the weather, for the fact half an hour ago he seems reluctant to do it- though when we actually did it, he didn’t seem that unwilling, heh. After the spill, I waddled to the ensuite bathroom to get rid of the sticky fluid residing between my legs. He offered to clean me by bringing a wash cloth but I’d rather do it myself in the shower just so I can get a good night sleep without overthinking about leaving a spot. And there he is, sitting on the bed, leaning on the headboard, watching me with his entire upper body bare for me to salivate over, I’m pretty sure he is naked underneath the thick duvet too. "Uhm, okay." I mean, he might be covering the bottom half but that thick rod of his is definitely not making a good job of hiding himself. Instead, he is standing proudly saying he
